Courier Directory

After posting a job from Hereford to Bradford, with only 1 response, I spent a good 45 mins phoning members in the directory and would guesstimate that 70% of the numbers were "incorrect". Most of those that answered had the wrong type of van or were no longer active.

I agree

Yes we agree too and have already started to deal with it, following previous comments on the subject.

Brilliant Tim, thank you.

If anyone has any ideas on how mtvan could be changed to speed up the response to jobs posted, we're all ears.

Unfortunately the text alert i received for a local job the first one I could bid on came through about 10 mins after the job had already been closed :( never mind better luck next time :)

sorry doo...saw your quote for GL3 to WR6 but timing was out...good price tho

Cheers Buddy :) 

Hi Tim, i see there has been a flood of members updating their details but upon checking I see some are still not providing all the information us vendors require to make an informed decision on who to book. It should be quite simple, until a member fills in all of the forms he cannot register or if they are just trying the site out without too much fuss then they should not appear in the directory!

I do agree that it would be more ideal to have a minimum requirement before appearing on the directory.

As a stop gap before I can do that, we have cleared off a large chunk of members who we have not seen for 2 months. This is after prompting these people to log back in to keep their accounts active of course. Hopefully you'll find the quality of those left in the directory to have increased.
